11th August
Steeton's dream of turning the tables on Pool and lifting the Waddilove Cup for the first time since 1999 came to grief in the final at Knaresborough. Steeton, bottom of the Aire-Wharfe League Division One, were always second favourites against the double-chasing leaders and Pool won by seven wickets. Australian Hagan Shakespeare, batting at five, did his best with a half-century but the only other Steeton batsman to exceed 20 runs was Luke Stockhill, who was run out for 22 and there were 22 extras. Chasing Steeton's total of 169 for nine, Pool opener and skipper David Singleton was run out for one, but co-opener James Ward hit a match-winning 79 not out, including eight fours and a six, to carry off the man of the match award. David Murphy and Jamie Davey made scores in the thirties and John Goldthorp was left undefeated on 17 as Pool won the cup for the first time in their history with five overs to spare. Bilton had lifted the cup in the last three seasons and Guiseley were triumphant in the three seasons before that. Now Pool hope to maintain the tradition of cup-winning hat-tricks, though this season's league championship is their priority.
The first XI got a respectable 4 points at Steeton after being rain reduced to 40 overs a side. Jamie Davey smashed 101 not out, hitting 7 sixes in his 90 ball innings. His second 50 came off just 17 balls helping Pool reach 212 for 4. Tight bowling restricted the hosts to 167 for 8. The second XI made it consecutive wins with a 9 wicket thrashing of Tong Park. Park made a respectable 205-9 but 100 not out from Chris "Bones" Tweedie and 78 not out from Dicky Bolton saw Pool home. See RESULTS for details..............

Pool CC are part of the ECB Natwest CricketForce programme which encourages cricket supporters, their friends and families to give something back to their local community cricket club by volunteering to undertake major renovations to clubhouses and grounds. The 2007 event takes place on the weekend of March 30 - April 1. Please support your club by giving some time to help. Details to follow………..
Money from the great efforts of Pool CC Ladies as well as a £20,000 contribution from Leeds City Council has meant that the long awaited renovation and extension of the changing rooms has commenced. The changing rooms will double in size with each having it's own toilet and showers. An umpires room with shower, toilet will be created and the balcony will be extended. In recent times, Pool CC has been transformed with vastly improved practice and playing facilities and this scheme, which should be completed before the start of the season, will compliment these.
Pool CC came out as a winner in the latest Episode of 'Fortune: Million Pound Give Away', walking away with a stunning £18,000. The money, awarded to the club following a pitch made to a panel of millionaires as part of ITVs 'Fortune: Million Pound Giveaway' programme will go towards completing a long-delayed scheme to create new changing rooms that will be able to accommodate women and also include disabled access. It is hoped that these facilities will support the already thriving sports scene in the local area. For Pool Pumas it will mean a more secure future at the club and will allow them to grow and expand attracting more girls from across the local area. The programme was aired on ITV on Tuesday 30th January between 8 and 9pm and was watched in the clubhouse by the majority of members of Pool CC. A big thank you goes out to everyone involved in this venture from start to finish. Pool CC Ladies Senior team won the White Rose League in 2006 and progress to play in the Northern League for the 2007 season. A team will also play in the Nidderdale Evening League and the juniors play in the Airedale Junior League Competitions. AGM This years AGM is on Tuesday 12th December at 8:15pm in the Village Hall.
Pool CC Ladies and Girls had a successful audition for a new show called Fortunes. They will film the show on 14th December in London and have the chance to win £20,000 to go towards the changing room project. If anyone would like to go to London to support the team in their quest for the money, a free coach trip has been organised. Hopefully we can have a few faces from Pool CC in the audience and be able to (fingers crossed) celebrate on the way back home! Please contact Wendi if you would like to attend 07737 876294.
